So basically, SB mode is slowly dying, and the latest changes have made it even worse. I suggest the following improvements:
- Improve the SB economy
For example, in top-tier SB, you spend 15k SL to fly a plane, but after playing about 2 hours with significant activity in battle, you may only earn 40k SL—not always. This doesn’t account for multiple deaths (4–5 per match), which bring you almost nothing compared to RB. Meanwhile, in RB, you can farm around 500k SL in the same time, whereas in SB you only earn 40–70k (without boosters). - Improve gameplay
Currently, gameplay is repetitive—you either fly around with minimal PvE interaction or just farm bases and bots. SB could be much more engaging. We have powerful jets with advanced weapons that could support more interesting missions, such as:
- Defending against massive drone attacks
- Carrier-based missions
- Re-creating historical battles (e.g., Iraq) with bomber support
First and foremost, the SB economy needs a revamp, because right now it’s almost impossible to play for consistent rewards. After that, more dynamic and meaningful missions could make SB far more engaging than it is today.
